How the call scored
One checkable claim, graded on its own against what actually happened.
Nothing to score yet: this grades once the result is in.
The call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same call; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
“Here's a closer look at Brady's top 10. 10. Detroit Lions ... 9. Las Vegas Raiders ... 8. Minnesota Vikings ... 7. Los Angeles Rams ... 6. Cincinnati Bengals ... 5. Philadelphia Eagles ... 4. Kansas City Chiefs ... 3. Buffalo Bills ... 2. San Francisco 49ers ... 1. Seattle Seahawks”
VerdictWaitingNot settled yet. This is graded once the result is in.

Eisen endorsed the Eagles' defense carrying them to the NFC championship and the Rams being the NFL's best team, but predicted the NFC North sends only Green Bay and Detroit to the playoffs, that Kansas City wins five of its last seven, that the 49ers make the playoffs, that Baltimore wins the AFC North, and that Tampa Bay wins the NFC South with both the Bucs and Panthers losing their upcoming NFC West road games.Chris Brockman · Power Rankings · Close 50
Brockman argued the Eagles' defense is the NFL's best and will drag a mediocre offense to the NFC championship, that the NFC North sends only two teams to the playoffs with the Bears among them, that the Rams are the league's best team, that a healthy Brock Purdy makes the 49ers an NFC threat who will beat the Saints and Falcons, and that the Panthers win the NFC South.Nick Wright · Power Rankings · Miss 0
